Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

Ipod screen goes blank after ios 5 update

I've been having this issue since the ios 5 update, but it seems that sometimes when I use my ipod on my ipad I hit either playlist, artist, or ect and my screen goes all black. A temp fix is powering the ipad off and on agian. I thought that with the release of the update to ios5 would fix it, but I'm still having the issue.

Ipod Screen Stays White After Update

After I updated to 4.2, I turned on my iPod. It seemed to start up like normal, with the little apple logo, but then it went right to sleep. Now, every time I push a button, it only shows a white screen for 5 seconds and then goes back to sleep mode. It somehow is still fully recognized by my mac, though.
Any suggestions?

I would download the firmware and install it manually (by holding your Option key down in iTunes when clicking on Restore) and select the downloaded file.

Clearly, it's not inexpensive. You might wish to try a few things yourself.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Screen gone white on ipod nano 5th gen any suggestions please ?

screen gone white on ipod nano 5th gen any suggestions please ? been left outside but completely dry now

Have you tried the 5 Rs?

IPod screen is white blank when I restart it.No apple logo.updaterwontrecog

I unplugged my iPod video while it was still downloading a video. It instantly erased all my music and videos. Everything was gone, but the iPod showed that there was still memory taken by something, so I thought that the music was still there but it had a glitch or something. I downloaded the appropriate Updater from apple.com. I started to restore it, but then thought better of it and unplugged the iPod again, thinking my music was still on it and that instead of restoring it, I should just update it. Now, it's REALLY screwed up. The screen is white when I restart it. There's no apple logo. And it makes noises. Three beeps. I really need help! Is there something I can do to fix it? Or should I just send it in to Apple. I've only had it a little over 3 months and I have over 200 days left on my warranty. Thankfully, I can backup all the music and videos if my iPod ever starts working again. PLEASE HELP ME!!

You messed it up by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

HT201263 my ipod screen turned white and i seen online that you hold the power button and the homescreen button for it to go off. But it wont turn back on. I would have to let it die and charge it it turns on but fades to white. what do i do?

My ipod screen turned white. i had read online that if i hold the power buton and the home button that it would turn off. It turned off but wouldnt turn back on. I had left the ipod on the charger all night and tryed this morning. nothing would happen. but when i checked it this afternoon the battery was dead. when ever i turn it on the password screen fades to white. what do i do. My warrenty just ended a week ago.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Also try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If not successful time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod screen went white

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

Hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
